Or you can run rumqttd with the custom config file by mounting the file and passing it as argument:

docker run -p 1883:1883 -p 1884:1884 -v /absolute/path/to/rumqttd.toml:/rumqttd.toml -it rumqttd -c /rumqttd.toml

Prebuilt binaries

For prebuilt binaries checkout our releases, download suitable binary for your system and move it to any directory in your PATH.
